Yeah, I added 'em to my watch list, when I drop out of life and adopt Wikipedia full time, I will get around to it. We do have excellent species articles on various whales, though, so this was rather surprising. None of the species articles I've read fall into this morass of incomprehensible compromise. Rather suprising.
It's not what do dolphins drink, but how do they get their water that's at issue with living in the ocean.
Whales do not exclusively inhabit saltwater. Belugas, for example, have been sighted 600 miles up the Yukon river in interior Alaska, and 1,240 miles up the Amur river in Manchuria (present day Russia/PRC border).

There are even exclusively freshwater species, like river dolphins.
